    Thanks for the feedback guys.

    The Millweld rear bar fitted up almost perfectly. Only bolt that didn't line up was one of the 4 around the tow hitch receiver.

    Next on the agenda is:
    Detroit E-locker
    roof cage
    reduction gears


    Mods so far:
    TJM bullbar and 12000 lb winch
    Millweld rear bar
    Millweld sliders
    LED reverse light on mast with switch for camping
    GME UHF
    Parrot Bluetooth that does stereo, phone, USB, SD card, I-pod, MP3
    cargo barrier
    ORS drawers
    Platinum drop-down fridge slide
    dual battery (all new accessories powered of spare battery)
    2" HD lift to front
    2" MD lift to rear with airbags
    Detroit soft-locker in rear
    Fibreglass flares

    Thanks mate, don't know about being a weapon, but a very capable tourer for sure. No body lift, no 35s, no 4" lift (well maybe not )

    Nice car Astro. I used to love Astroboy cartoon as a kid hahaha.

    How are you liking the Milweld rear bar and side steps? I've been looking into buying their stuff recently.. figured it'd be a nice drive up to Mansfield one Saturday and get them to fit all the gear while I'm there.

    Can you comment on the quality? Did you fit the bar yourself? Can you possibly take more pics of the bar like departure angle, side on views, underneath, the welds!

    One thing I was told to watch out for was the welds on the wheel carrier because they are normally the first to go carrying a 35" tyre (not that I will be, but still).

    But yeah, narrowed my rear bar and steps suppliers down to 3 mobs.
    Milweld, All Terrain 4x4 and S&J Horsepower.

    Also, where'd you get that light bar? I googled "Sudso Light bar" and resulted in a patrol 4x4 link. No way in hell im going there with the viruses that site has now.

    Cheers
